Chapter 97 After being out of contact for several months, the "Newsbird" has finally made contact again!
(Seeking votes at 4 PM) No. 19 Luojiawan, Chongqing, Military Intelligence Bureau Headquarters.
The continuous rain had shrouded the mountain city in a damp mist, making the atmosphere inside the headquarters somewhat dull and oppressive.
With the main battlefield entering a brutal stalemate, the focus of intelligence work seemed to shift to trivial and dangerous sabotage and infiltration behind enemy lines, with few inspiring victories reported.
Mao Qi clutched a newly translated, unusually long telegram tightly in his hand. He practically ran down the corridor, and only when he reached the director's office did he straighten his clothes, knock gently three times, and then quickly step inside after receiving permission.
"Director! Director! Great news! This is a momentous occasion!" Mao Qi's voice, though he tried his best to suppress his excitement, still trembled slightly.
Dai Chunfeng, a seasoned intelligence chief who was engrossed in reviewing documents, immediately noticed Mao Qi's unusual tone and knew that something extremely important must have happened. He asked in a deep voice, "Qi Wu, what is it?"
"Director! It's the 'Good News Bird'! The 'Good News Bird' that had been out of contact for months, he's finally made contact again!" Mao Qiwu rushed to the desk and presented the telegram with both hands!
His voice was still trembling with excitement. "Director, look! Urgent telegram from Wu Jinzhong at Tianjin Station! It's a harbinger of good news!" It brought top-level strategic intelligence about the imminent large-scale military conflict between the Soviet Union and Japan!
My God, the time, location, Japanese unit numbers, commanding officers' names, even troop deployment—all of this is incredible!
The types of artillery are specified down to the regimental level!
This style, this level of detail—aside from his "Good News Bird," even if all the intelligence agencies of our Republic of China were combined, they couldn't obtain such meticulous intelligence!
God bless the Party and the nation, God bless the Chairman, God bless the Bureau Chief!
"What?! A harbinger of good news?!" Dai Chunfeng suddenly stood up, snatched the telegram, and his usually deep and unfathomable eyes instantly flashed with a terrifying light.
He first glanced at the masthead, "Urgent report from Wu Jinzhong at Tianjin Station," and was slightly taken aback (how did the harbinger of good news end up in Tianjin?), but was immediately captivated by the outrageously detailed content of the telegram.
His gaze, like the most sophisticated scanner, swept swiftly across lines of breathtaking text: "July 1938..."
9:00 AM on the 29th of the month —
The 19th Division of the Japanese Korean Area Army, under the command of Mikoku Kizo, and the 38th Division of the Kwantung Army, under the command of Song Jingtaijiro, disobeyed orders from the Imperial General Headquarters and crossed the border without authorization.
攻击目标：涨鼓峰、沙草峰苏军........兵力详单：第75联队主攻张鼓峰............．第76联队第1大队协攻沙草峰.......．山炮兵第25联队...........野战重炮兵第15联队（150mm榴弹炮）.........高炮第5联队————
19th Engineer Regiment — 27th Cavalry Regiment —
Dai Chunfeng became more and more excited as he read the telegram, and his hand holding the telegram trembled slightly.
He suddenly raised his head, his face flushed with extreme excitement, and slammed his hand heavily on the table, making the teacup shake: "Qi Wu! You're right!"
It's definitely him!
It's 100% a harbinger of good fortune! There's no mistake!
Finally, we've made contact again! That little devil, he finally couldn't hold back anymore and's going to poke the Russian bear's ass!
He paced rapidly in the office, speaking as fast as if he were firing a gun: "Qi Wu, do you see the value of this intelligence?"
This isn't just intelligence about our war with the Japanese! It's about the international situation!
This is a momentous event that could potentially reshape the landscape of the Far East!
Moreover, look how thoughtful Comrade Baoxiniao is!
This intelligence is about the Japanese and the Russians. Even if... even if it's just a false report deliberately released by the Japanese, it won't cause any damage to our current military deployment!
However, if used politically and strategically, its significance... its significance is even greater than the three previous crucial battlefield intelligence reports he provided!
He stopped, his eyes sharp as knives: "The front line is now a war of attrition, a head-on clash. With the help of a large number of heavy artillery weapons from the Russian bear, and intelligence that we have exchanged minerals and pig bristles for German firearms, we can finally hold our own against the Japanese army!"
In this kind of head-on confrontation, the effectiveness of intelligence is indeed not as great as that of a surprise attack or ambush. Both sides suffer enormous losses. Even the Chairman is anxious. A few days ago, he reprimanded our Military Intelligence Bureau, Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and CC Clique for their poor intelligence work. I have no way to express my suffering!
Unexpectedly, just like the saying goes, "When you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up before you!" Ha...
"The 'Good News Bird' doesn't make a move unless it's a devastating bombshell, capable of shaking up the international chess scene!"
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and immediately issued a series of orders: "Qi Wu, listen up!"
This matter is of paramount importance! It must be kept absolutely secret!
Go to the Chairman's office in person and hand this telegram to Hu Qiankuan!
Tell him that this document must be presented to the Chairman in person, and that no one other than the Chairman may handle or read it!
Even the Ministry of Military Affairs has to keep it a secret for now! Today is July 23rd, and there are still six days before the Japanese make their move!
If the news leaks and both Japan and the Soviet Union become aware of it, then everything will be over!
"Yes, Director! I understand!" Mao Qiwu accepted the order with a stern expression.
"And another thing!" Dai Chunfeng added, his tone chilling, "All personnel in the headquarters communications room who came into contact with, handled, or decoded this intelligence are to be immediately quarantined!"
They were placed under house arrest, given the best food and drink, but forbidden from having any contact with the outside world!
The quarantine will not be lifted until July 29th, after the outbreak is confirmed!
At the same time, immediately send a telegram to Wu Jinzhong at Tianjin Station, instructing him to do the same!
All those with knowledge of the matter are to be quarantined! Anyone who dares to leak even the slightest information will be executed without exception!
"Yes! I'll take care of it right away!" Mao Qi knew that this matter was extremely urgent and dared not delay in the slightest. He took the original telegram from Dai Chunfeng and turned to leave quickly.
Dai Chunfeng was the only one left in the office.
After the initial joy, a lingering doubt crept into his mind like a ghost.
He slowly sat back in his chair, his fingers unconsciously tapping the table.
"The Annunciation Bird..."
...Thanks to that idiot Wang Laosi's bizarre assassination attempt, the Shanghai station was destroyed, and he has been out of contact for so long!
You son of a bitch Wang Laosi, if it weren't for you keeping "the 'Newsbird' out of contact for so long," with his influence, how much "strategic intelligence" could have been provided in the past few months that could have changed the entire situation!
At least the news that the Japanese army suddenly reinforced its troops by 300,000 from the mainland during the Battle of Xuzhou could definitely be obtained in advance by the "Good News Bird". We would not need to use the method of "blowing up the river" to stop the Japanese army, which would result in a loss of 100,000 of our own troops and kill 100,000 of the enemy!
Wang Laosi, you are the number one piece of trash in the Kuomintang, the number one sinner against the Party, the country and the nation!
Killing you ten thousand times wouldn't be enough to vent my anger!
No, wait! It's the harbinger of good fortune...
How did he suddenly appear in Tianjin?
How did they manage to find that old fox Wu Jinzhong's Xinle Theater so accurately?
Tianjin Station, nicknamed the "Iron Fortress," is extremely well-hidden; even many at headquarters don't know its exact location...
The power and methods of this "harbinger of good fortune"...
"..." His eyes flashed with a complex light, a mixture of endless anticipation for this mysterious ace agent and a hint of unspeakable apprehension.
Meanwhile, the Tianjin Station, which Boss Dai was constantly complaining about, was also in complete chaos.
Busy with "burning documents, taking down radios, checking weapons..." in preparation for an emergency relocation to deal with "possible exposure," Station Chief Wu Jinzhong muttered to himself, "Damn it, loyalty to the Party and the country, protection of the leader!"
The premise is: if a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth!
A foreign devil, who seemed to have come from nowhere, found their way to their doorstep. And that foreign devil was really cunning; he handed them over to the gatekeeper and then turned and left!
When he immediately arranged for people to investigate after listening to the record, he was shocked to find that this foreigner seemed to have sprung from a rock.
They searched the entire city of Tianjin but found not a single clue; no one had ever seen him before! (Han instructed them to deliver the record half an hour before the ship departed, and to leave immediately afterward. By the time they went to look for him after the Tianjin station had listened to the record, firstly, they would need time to confirm his identity, and secondly, the Tianjin station could not board the American ship to investigate...)
Retreat, retreat quickly, saving your lives is the most important thing...
'
After the chaotic evacuation of the Tianjin Station to the safe house, Wu Jinzhong, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, asked the action team leader, Li Ya, "Is everything arranged?"
We are closely monitoring the situation at our headquarters, the Xinle Theater. The theater will continue as usual every day!
T
Li Ya replied, "Don't worry, station chief, everything is arranged. There are ten members in the action team, posing as tobacco vendors, rickshaw pullers, and others, providing 24-hour surveillance!"
Wu Jinzhong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, I trust you to handle things!"
Make sure you keep the vinyl record I gave you safe!
Once things have calmed down, immediately arrange for reliable personnel to send it to headquarters, understand?
Li Ya was taken aback and asked, "Station manager, records? What records?"
Didn't you say during our emergency evacuation that Xinle Theater should continue operating normally?
The record you gave me, I left it in the record pile at the theater, didn't I take it out?
"Glad 33"
Wu Jinzhong's face immediately turned deathly pale.
